Remember last month when ethnic fighting on the APEC Summit, President Putin presented to learn that Russia Yota brand dual-screen smart phones Phone 2? its biggest feature is dual-screen display, including positive AMOLED display and the back of the e-ink display, this is the first time I heard "electronic ink" this stuff.
Similarly, the Kindle e-book reader from Amazon using the principles of a similar screen, through EInk 16-level grayscale e-paper display technology, to minimize power consumption in the case provide a paper-like reading experience.
Unfortunately I'm sorry, electronic products above the landlord did not, but recently got the author′s InkCase i5 launched e ink screen protection case, it's time to toss it.
Product out of the box
Although Express from Shenzhen to Guangzhou without much, but may be in transit by more violent impact, Tester packaging box corners appear large pieces of broken, seriously affecting the mood ... ... But think about it, if you are Rome, whatever the outcome, still have to give the tail out of the box.

Product appearance
Get the white version of the InkCase i5, more flattering than black eyeballs.

▲ Looks really thick side
▲To the top of the screen in the status bar (to display the battery status information)
Start for the first time, became the first to be aware of product thickness on the one hand, because it contains a display, the back panel the size increase is the most obvious part, the thickness of 0.5 mm, but fortunately for other size parameters are within an acceptable range.

Take InkCase found that thick, or thick. Plastic phone case is particularly delicate, to protect the screen on the back of bending and deformation, the plastic material with high strength, but this machine and condom combination of isolation and added quite a bit more difficult.
InkCase i5 chip and battery (battery life is also good), communications and mobile phones via Bluetooth connection, of course, ultimately, App support, to achieve the second screen of the phone's home screen and information communication.

Product use
With all that said, it is time for us to return to the product using the link. The first step is the connection between the two devices paired.
About InkCasePhoto is the first app, its role is to import a picture and picture transfer through the client to the e ink screen, which looks like a different. Specific reference in the following steps:
This application will appear after you select a picture in order to match InkCase display the shear box, finally out of the picture sharpness will decrease, and the picture is displayed in the back sometimes appear like multiple exposure picture will have a larger proportion of ghosting, can still be seen. Actual show how it works, which have to rely on friends ' eyes to judge, I think its effect General.

The second app is EpiReader, through this application users can get a paper reading experience in the InkCase, the equivalent of a small size of the eBook reader. Specific reference in the following steps:
In actual use, I think eBooks should be more practical than a display picture value and significance.
However, I most like to feature which even appears mortally wounded, contents when the page load slower or even responses will greatly affect the user experience, equipment manufacturer does not conform to the format (. epub) book resources for users to download, which will likely determine the rhythm of users will continue to use it. Fortunately I know some tips of the transferred resources to the iPhone application and found that after I import downloaded books cannot be displayed on InkCase, disillusioned.

Creative products but no external resources to support its development, the doomed hardware development, also to keep up with software, to develop software and hardware ecosystem.
Summary
Ideas is a good thing. But everyone should listening to had so Word--ideal is full, reality is bone sense, does, reality on pendulum in user front, hardware end of InkCase, connection equipment signal lost status frequency out, lack design sense and not consider user feel to put originally better of concept imposed Yu phone shell in the; software end of InkCase, user experience poor, and transmission speed to be improve and resources lack, problem more obviously.

If you can use "Screen" alternative InkCase "Case", it can be designed as a separate handheld InkScreen, perhaps, reality will not so skinny. Complete "product design" this off, back problems and then slowly overcome, ideals and the reality of limits will gradually be erased.
